Clinton’s collusion: Who will investigate the new Russia scandal?
NY Post ^ | October 25, 2017 | Post Editorial Board

After more than a year of lying denials, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee now stand exposed as the funders of that salacious dossier alleging years of collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump.

The FBI stands exposed, too — as having agreed to keep paying for the same research after Trump was elected.

All of which raises lots of disturbing questions, plus the possibility that if anyone colluded with Moscow, it was Team Hillary.

The Washington Post reported that Clinton and the DNC paid millions to a DC law firm, Perkins Coie, which in turn hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump.

Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who compiled the 35-page dossier containing information he claimed came from Russian government and intel officials.

But Fusion has its own Kremlin ties, having done paid work to try to reverse the sanctions imposed in the Magnitsky Act, named for a Russian whistleblower tortured and killed in Moscow — work that allegedly included smear campaigns against Magnitsky and Bill Browder, his top champion in the West.

Little wonder Fusion GPS has been stonewalling Congress’ efforts to get to the bottom of this, with company officials taking the Fifth Amendment.

And why the FBI has been resisting congressional subpoenas for information on its role in the whole matter.

What we had here wasn’t a leak from intelligence sources, but a piece of opposition research — contracted and paid for by President Trump’s opponents and prepared by a firm with a record of Russian-linked smears — which the FBI glommed onto.

Indeed, it looks very much like the whole Trump “collusion” probe was prompted by the Democratic-commissioned hit job. The same dossier seems to have been the FBI’s pretext for FISA warrants on Trump officials

I would like to see Jeff Sessions appoint a woman as Special Prosecutor to go after Hillary. Somebody with a tract record for convictions and has some integrity.
...
Sessions ,like Rush said on 10-25-17, needs to publically state he is no longer refused as facts show collusion with DNC, Clinton, and hire Victoria Toensing to investigate and prosecute under his direction.

Thanks fellow Freeper, hadn’t seen that. She’s about 76, seasoned. Been around D.C. a long time and involved.

,,,, are you trying to say Mueller stays to also investigate U/1 ? If so I can’t see how ,,, he was involved directly as the head of the FBI and so was Rosenstein involved and they sat on it silently for a long time . Mueller knew from the beginning the Dossier was a hoax as he continued the charade against the Trump campaign .

This morning, on Fox and Friends, Gowdy said he didn’t think this whole mess rises to the level of needing a special prosecutor. What?

The fix is in. This story will be “old news” in another week.

A new Special counsel is not required because Mueller is already ALL OVER THIS.

Don’t worry at all Trey Gowdy has complete faith in Robert Mueller to get to the bottom of this and be unbiased in his findings.
Trey Gowdy looks bought and paid for himself.

I think the DNC/Lawyer hiring the agent of foreign interest (GPS Fuzion & steele working with russia) to prepare info to interfere with our elecstion is what will get them.

Mueller will leak some rumors against Trump to distract from the dossier.

Mueller likely will come up very quickly with some charges against Trump...This will give the MSM the ammo they need to ignore the Democrats...
